[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My very young kids attend one of the so-called HRC's and are too young to take the PARCC. Test scores are extremely important to me and one of several reasons we did not send our kids to our IB school (which has terrible scores). I am disappointed in my school's test scores this year, but expect those numbers to continue to trend upward, for a number of reasons. If that doesn't happen, we'll have some tough decisions to make in the next couple of years. We love our school, but I hope all schools, including our IB school, continue to improve. I wish people would stop pitting charter schools against neighborhood schools.[/quote] I hope you are at my school. And thank you for caring about education for all kids - and not rooting against other people's kids. Some of you are really horrible. [/quote] Even the most self-interested among us should be rooting our IB schools to improve -- better schools will improve all our property values and help with neighborhood stability. Sadly the scores at our IB DCPS went down. [/quote] Rooting by the sidelines is not going to do a thing for your IB school. Enrolling your kid, volunteering, and donating to your IB will help. Mostly, enroll your kid. Test scores are not going to magically improve by sending positive energy their way.[/quote] My kids were too old for the school when we moved to our current neighborhood - not going to adopt or try to give birth at 47 to show my commitment.
